How Should Teaching Change in the Age of Siri? Culture Digital Tools Teaching Strategies By Marsha Ratzel “Siri, can you tell me what 2x+7 is?” You know the future is rushing towards us when students no longer ask the teacher if they can use a calculator, but instead ask if they can ask Siri. Siri shows a plot of the equation, what kind of geometric shape it is, and loads of other things that are well above the needs of eighth-graders. The image on the screen looked remarkably like the data one finds at the Wolfram Alpha site. Clearly it won’t take long for students to realize how easy this is to access. In that light, how should teaching change? Short of banning smartphones (a short-term solution, at best), the evolution of artificial intelligence services like Siri means that there will be a shift from a focus on finding the answer as the endpoint to a greater focus on analysis. Lessons are designed with the assumption that students will use readily available technology. Changing instruction in this way is a balancing act. Related
Minnesota Gives Coursera the Boot, Citing a Decades-Old Law - Wired Campus Coursera offers free, online courses to people around the world, but if you live in Minnesota, company officials are urging you to log off or head for the border. The state’s Office of Higher Education has informed the popular provider of massive open online courses, or MOOC’s, that Coursera is unwelcome in the state because it never got permission to operate there.

But Ms. Grimes said the law the letters refer to isn’t new. Ms. >> What You Need to Know About MOOC’s Return to Top

Pearson Project Will Let Professors Mix Free and Paid Content in E-Textbooks - Wired Campus Pearson, a major textbook publisher, continued its push into digital education on Monday by introducing a service that allows instructors to create e-textbooks using open-access content and Pearson material. A beta version called Project Blue Sky will begin in the spring with the help of Gooru, a nonprofit search engine. When an instructor enters keywords for the subject he or she is teaching, the system sends back a list of Pearson content, free educational content, and material from other commercial providers. The instructor can then pull together material from various sources into one e-book—two chapters from a published textbook, three videos from MIT’s OpenCourseWare, and a research study from Harvard University, for example. “Both Pearson and a number of leaders in the open-educational-resource community have recognized opportunities for both premium content and free open content,” said Clancy Marshall, the leader of the project.
